Sometimes you just need something sweet. And if you’re trying to be healthy those moments can be your undoing, suddenly you’re tongue deep in a mars bar, hiding snicker bar wrappers under the bed or consuming full jars of nutella using your finger as a spoon. That’s where these come in, they’re are unbelievably delicious, […]

Pearl barley risotto is tremendous. I actually think I prefer it to rice risotto and it’s definitely a lot lighter and healthier. Obviously you can adapt this recipe, just leave out the bacon, and ham and replace the chicken stock with veg stock to make it veggie, it’s totally grand with just the butternut squash. […]

I LOVE SAUSAGE AND MASH! I used to get the Beano every week when I was wee and the sausage and mash they munched on in that always came in the form of a mountain of mash with sausages stuck into the sides. Ever since then I’ve been obsessed. These days it’s about trying to […]

I make a lot of soup. A pot every couple of weeks, I always freeze a couple of freezer bags full in individual portions to take to work. And this is the one I keep coming back to. It’s tremendous, full on delicious. And really easy to make. Ingredients One onion Two medium butternut squash […]

Made this for dinner last night and it was so super delicious I thought I’d better share the recipe. I’m afraid I didn’t weigh out my ingredients, I do it all by sight usually so there’ll be a lot of handfuls. Best bet is to see if it looks balanced and then you’ll be OK. […]

I’ve got a hand spiralizer rather than one that sits on the worktop so I wasn’t sure until I tried this dish whether I could use it for butternut squash. Turns out it works if you chop the squash into carrot size pieces but that the ‘spaghetti’ you get from it will be a bit […]
